The House at Baker Street: A Mrs. Hudson and Mary Watson Investigation (Mrs. Hudson & Mary Watson Investigation)

by Michelle Birkby

When Sherlock Holmes turns away the case of persecuted Laura Shirley, Mrs Hudson, the landlady of Baker Street, and Mary Watson resolve to take on the investigation themselves. From the kitchen of 221b, the two women begin their inquiries and enlist the assistance of the Baker Street Irregulars and the infamous Irene Adler.

A trail of clues leads them to the darkest corners of Whitechapel, where the feared Ripper supposedly still stalks. They discover Laura Shirley is not the only woman at risk and it rapidly becomes apparent that the lives of many others are in in danger too.

As they put together the pieces of an increasingly complicated puzzle, the investigation becomes bigger than either of them could ever have imagined. Can Mrs Hudson and Mary Watson solve the case or are they just pawns in a much larger game?

It is time for Mrs Hudson and Mary Watson to emerge from the shadows and stand in the spotlight. Readers will discover that these two women are resourceful, intelligent and fearless, with a determination to help those in need . . .

Mary Watson and Mrs Hudson team together to investigate a blackmailed that is driving some people to suicide. He seems to revel in destroying lives. When they investigate it becomes more involved and they keep finding more and more victims. The danger ramps up as they get closer to the truth.
Written from Mrs Hudson's perspective this is an interesting twist on the tales.
